Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254．When he was 17，he travelled across Europe and Asian along the Silk Road with his father，who wanted to do trade with the Chinese．Finally they arrived in Beijing．They were guests at the Emperor's Palace．Although Marco was young，he was very clever and could speak four languages．The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends．He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to do many important tasks across the country．
Marco was amazed by how beautiful China was．He was impressed bu Beijing and the Emperor's Palace，especially the Summer Palace which he described as "The greatest palace that ever was…"The walls were covered in gold and silver and the hall was so large it could easily seat 6，000people for dinner．"
There were inventions and developments in China which couldn't focused in Europe at that time．Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets．In Europe，people paid for goods with gold and silver．He could not understand how people pay for food and valuable things with paper! He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat．The black stones were coal，but Marco had never seen coal before!
In 1291，after 17years of service to the Emperor，Marco returned to Italy．He was now a very wealthy man．A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called The Description of the World，which became one of the best﹣selling books in Europe．
Although people enjoyed reading the book，many of them thought that Marco's stories about China were too fantastic to be true．But Marco always stood by his tales．Just before he died，aged 70，Marco was asked the question，"Was it all true？"And this was his answer："I have only told a half what I saw!"

We have got two children，Jack is seven and his little brother ，Nick is four．They're quite close and play a lot together．They quarrel quite a lot， too， but they enjoy each other's company．
Unluckily，we live quite a long way away from the others of the family． It's an eight﹣ hour drive to get to their grandparents，but we usually visit them during the school holidays．
Jack reads well，but he didn't start to read for pleasure． He thinks reading is only something you have to do at school．I think the main problem is： he always watches TV．
He also likes playing cards and computer games and riding his bike． I don't let him ride it on the street，but we often go to the park，where it's safer．
